Cinemas and Theatres

This converted warehouse has three separate spaces to hire: the theatre, bar and the hub. With capacity up to 250, this versatile space is suitable for workshops, meetings, team away days, exhibitions, parties, meals and rehearsals.

This venue is relatively young, having only been operating for six years and was lovingly built with salvaged material by 50 very dedicated volunteers.

Since mid-1800 this space has been home to film, variety acts and music.

Six different rooms offer a range of opportunities for all kinds of events, it’s even been known for the odd wedding. Capacities range from 20 – 300 and include cocktails bars, studio spaces and a grand auditorium.

This central-London museum is also a Grade I listed building. Each room is filled with a variety of artefacts and curiosities to make for a truly unique event setting. Far from a blank-canvas, this space delivers surprises and intrigue around every corner. Suitable for dinners, drinks receptions, product launches, fashion shows and photography shoots.

The venue also offers candlelit tours for those interested in an education element to their event.

This independent film production facility has been operating in an 18th Century listed building in Rotherhithe since 1975. The studio includes a medium sized sound stage with a new and permanent lighting rig, dressing rooms, art department and paint workshops for a small set build. A suitable venue for private or public one-off events, film screenings, music concerts, theatre performances and drinks receptions.

This museum is devoted to keeping alive the spirit of cinema from the days before the multiplex. Located in Kennington, the museum houses a unique collection of artefacts, memorabilia and equipment that preserves the history and grandeur of cinema from the 1890s to the present day.

This is London’s foremost theatre for the bold, the fresh and the fearless. The mission is to collaborate and conspire, embracing artists from all walks of life to come together and inspire others. The venue is home to London’s unconventional theatre scene. The theatre has 176 seats and is situated in an abandoned space, in an archway beneath Waterloo station.

Originally designed by John Johnson, this theatre opened in 1875 and had a capacity for seating 2,500. Its stage, of mechanised timber is characteristic of Victorian theatres and is probably one of the earliest examples in English theatre with a facility for counterweight flying. The theatre has had an extremely chequered past, in addition to its theatrical uses it has served as a cinema, a centre for Belgian refugees, part of a German internment camp and a BBC prop store.

A wonderland of plush red velvet gold-framed walls, Austrian crystal chandeliers and oversized Chinese lanterns, this historic ballroom is the only intact 1950s ballroom in London and remains one of its best-kept secrets. Much loved by the local community, the ballroom has been through previous incarnations as a music hall, and picture house, and has been restored with care and passion.

Its period atmosphere and beautifully quirky decor attracts film directors, programme and music video makers, and has formed the backdrop to countless photo shoots, music videos and one-off concerts.

A recent restoration has brought this Frank Matcham designed theatre into the 21st Century with state of the art facilities. Built in 1901, it is an extraordinarily atmospheric theatre. A Grade II* listed building, the theatre has spent the last 100 years presenting the arts in all incarnations, from Charlie Chaplin, the BBC and Gilbert & Sullivan to Arcade Fire, Russell Brand and Hercule Poirot not to mention London’s No.1 pantomime.

Recognised as a unique and welcoming environment for an eclectic crowd, this Vauxhall icon provides unsurpassed levels of hospitality and a diverse variety of entertainment, seven days a week. The South London venue started life as a Victorian music hall. After the war, returning servicemen and local gay men were attracted to the venue, which held shows of female impersonators, the forerunner of drag shows. According to Cleo Rocos‍ ’​ book The Power of Positive Drinking, Princess Diana visited the venue in the late 1980s, disguised as a man and accompanied by Rocos, Freddie Mercury and Kenny Everett.
